Kyle Vanhemert, writer for Wired, described the experience of watching the process:“Whether or not computational hydrographic printing brings color to the maker revolution, it’s an odd pleasure to see in action. The thrill has something to do with overcoming the uncertainties you’d think were inherent in the process of painting a thing by dunking it in a tub of water. Watching the colors warp perfectly into place, their patterns algorithmically deranged in anticipation of the predictable liquid encounter, the whole thing feels, I don’t know, almost mischievous.”
